A Queen's Game by Katharine McGeeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Alix of Hesse knew she was expected to marry royalty, but what happens when she falls for the wrong prince? Helene d’Orleans may not be a princess anymore, but she loves to go against what’s expected and she has her sights set on Prince Eddy. May of Teck is not royal but is working toward her own prince. These strong women want more than a royal marriage, they want love, but they must overcome a fierce adversary, the Queen of England (Queen Victoria), who wants to meddle in relationships around her empire.
A Queen’s Game is a stand-alone historical fiction story that is full of intrigue. This is a good starting point for those who are not familiar with this time period, yet it is also engaging for those who love everything Victorian England. There was some hanky-panky, but nothing descriptive. This was not a deep read and I had to fight NOT to look up these young women to find out the true story. A Queen’s Game is a fun romantic novel that teaches a little history along the way.
